The BoR only enumerates Rights granted by GOD to all of mankind.

The Bill of Rights says nothing about the rights being granted by God.

The Bill of Rights says nothing about the rights being granted by God.

That's because it had already been said in the Declaration of Independence: "...endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness."

Notice that Jefferson did not intend his enumeration of 3 rights to be taken as a complete list...

And no comment on my instructive example of the uniquely American Legal RKBA?

The conspiracy of ignorance masquerades as common sense!
